Retirement of Robin Aizlewood

11 October 2013

Last Friday SSEES gave a formal
farewell to Robin Aizlewood, Director of SSEES since 2006, who has retired due
to ill-health. Current and former SSEES
staff, as well as other friends and colleagues across UCL and externally,
joined us in wishing Robin well.

Vice-Provost Professor Michael Worton spoke of Robin’s commitment, over
many years to SSEES and modern languages, commenting that his legacy had been a
“massive and vibrant one”. For his part,
Robin thanked everyone for their support over the years. He will continue to contribute as an advisor
on various bodies associated with modern languages.

Slavo
Radošević, who served as Deputy Director for the past three years, will be
the SSEES Director for a period of time leading up to the appointment of a
permanent Director.
